TLN: Enjoy The Chapter~

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

[Aikawa-san’s POV]

 

He grabbed by my sleeve and nimbly walked to the attraction.

 

“….”

 

I wonder why, but when he touches me… my heart pounds more than usual.

 

Am I being too conscious? Every time he turned his head towards me, I felt a tightening sensation inside my chest.

 

I had felt it from time to time, but I wondered if this was the feeling of being in “love” with someone.

 

“…Nu.”

 

His back felt so strong and big.

 

The sun was shining brightly today, and his polo shirt was clinging to his body with sweat, exposing his white skin.

 

(Wow… so this is what a man’s body looks like…)

 

I was a little jealous of his skin, which was so beautiful that I couldn’t believe he was a man.

 

I had seen men’s bodies a few times in pool classes and such, but his body was incomparably more muscular than the others.

 

Thin and macho… was that the best way to describe him? By the time I realized it, I was glued to his body.

 

“Aikawa-san, be careful of what you step on.”

“Mhn.”

 

As I climbed into the coffee cup, he reached out his hand as if he was concerned. I grabbed it tightly and walked up into the large coffee cup.

 

(…let’s get closer a little bit.)

 

“Aikawa Mio is going to tell Kurose Ryuta that she loves him.” That was the goal of today’s date at the amusement park.

 

I was able to get pretty close to him on the roller coaster ride and the haunted house… but it probably didn’t have much effect.

 

Not just a piggyback… I need to work harder to make him nervous.

 

(If he doesn’t realize what I’m thinking today…)

 

I thought about the worst case scenario.

 

Then as if to escape my anxiety, I closed the distance between us a little.

 

I moved to the point where our shoulders would touch each other, then I rested my face on his shoulder.

 

(… I’m getting impatient…)

 

If I could say it with my mouth, I would have said it by now, but I couldn’t open it, so it was no use.

 

If only I could say it with my mouth, how much easier it would be. Even while I’m doing this, the man I see in front of me might be taken by another girl.

 

“Aikawa-san, what’s wrong? Are you depressed about something?”

“U-Uun.”

 

If he was doing it without realizing it… then, I have to say he was such a mean guy.

 

Maybe it was because I’ve gotten too bold, but lately he has gotten a little bolder too.

 

I think at first I was the one making him nervous, but now I’m completely at his pace.

 

(I wonder if this is… good as it is…?)

 

Caught in a bit of negative thinking, the coffee cup slowly began to move. There was a railing in front of me, so I reached out to grab it.

 

However he seemed to be thinking the same thing as well, because he too was reaching his right hand towards the same part. Our hands touched for a moment, but we both hurriedly withdrew it.

 

“Ah– sorry…”

“…Mhn…” 

 

I really wanted to apologize too, but it was impossible.

 

If I tried to open my mouth, my mind would remind me of what had happened back then, even if I didn’t want to.

 

I haven’t told Misuzu or… him about that time.

 

If there was ever a time to talk about it, it would be at…

 

“Huh? It’s getting faster, isn’t it?”

 

My thoughts were interrupted by his casual words.

 

It’s true that the speed was getting faster than before.

 

As if in response to this, the children around us began to cackle happily, and gradually, our bodies began to sway from side to side.

 

I’m holding the railing so our bodies won’t collide, but I guess now was the time to tell him…

 

『And then, you kiss Onii-chan on the cheeks!!』

 

That’s what Misuzu said to me. It’s very embarrassing to kiss, but I… just have to be a little brave here.

 

“Hey, it’s dangerous so hold on tight, okay?”

 

I took my hand off the railing and moved even closer to him. Our arms met in a knot, and I could clearly smell his wonderful scent.

 

(He’s… really cool, after all…)

 

Before I realized who he was, I had assumed that he was an ‘unimpressive’ guy, but I was reminded that love is blind.

 

I think he could change a lot if he just fixed his shaggy black hair. I think it was a bit of a waste, but other than that, his appearance was top class.

 

(I knew it… this is no good…)

 

What will he think when he finds out that I love him?

 

——What if he thinks I’m annoying?

 

——What if he thinks I’m depressing?

 

“….”

 

I gently put my outstretched hand back on the railing. What I feared most was that he would reject me.

 

If I went home without doing anything, Misuzu would be disappointed to see me so timid. That would be a shame for her, who had worked so hard to choose the right clothes for me, and I wouldn’t want it to end this way either.

 

(But… It scares me…)

 

So far, there is no sign of rejection when I touch him in an intimate way. In fact, I felt that he was slightly pleased.

 

There were times when his cheeks would blushed with embarrassment, and there were times when he looked a little depressed when I left him.

 

(So, it will be fine… right?)

 

Since yesterday, the feeling of “I want to tell him” has been bubbling up inside my mind to a great extent.

 

The size of it was so big that it surpasses the fear that I remembered every time I tried to open my mouth.

 

It surpasses it…?

 

“…Nuu!”

 

It was then that I realized something important.

 

“W-What’s wrong, Aikawa-san!?”

 

In response to my sudden outburst, he shouted loudly, as if he was truly surprised.

 

(Perhaps that’s…)

 

It was just an idea, so there was no proof of anything. There was no reasoning or logic behind any of this.

 

But somewhere in the back of my mind, there was a part of me that believed it.

 

…I thought that the day might come when I would open my heavy mouth.

 

——If I have the desire, “I want to tell him” I could overcome that fear.

 

“U-Uun.”

 

I hurriedly tried to tell him that it was nothing, but it seemed that I didn’t convey it well.

 

“What the…”

 

He furrowed his brow in confusion. Immediately after that, the coffee cup started to spin around and around.

 

“Woah!?” “Nuu…”

 

A fun time passed by. He smiled at me happily, a big smile that was like a child was plastered on his face.

 

(Just as I thought… I’m sure, right?)

 

I quietly made up my mind.

 

When the feeling of “I want to tell him” reaches its peak in my heart.

 

—Just for a moment, that strong feeling overcomes that fear.

 

Then if I could muster up just a little bit of courage.

 

At that time, I will try to convey my love in my own words to him.
